Depths of Peril Mini-Review

Game Tunnel has posted a short but enthusiastic review of Soldak Entertainment’s Depths of Peril, giving the RPG/strategy hybrid a score of “Call in Sick”:

I really liked Depths of Peril. There were some obvious flaws, but they didn’t take away from what is a very singularly enjoyable experience. Working with the computer-controlled guilds while also trying to beat them was a unique type of computer competition that really caught my fancy.

To get people to join your party you often are assigned a quest to prove your worth, which the computer players also try to undertake, creating the common state of racing against other computer players to complete a goal. There are bugs and shortcomings in the graphics that should hamper the experience, but I found myself oblivious to them due to how entranced I was with the game. Great game!
